You know, I woke up this morning, you know, just 'bout half past four Hesitation blues was knocking on my door Tell me, how long Do I have to wait? Can I get you now, baby? Do I have to hesitate? I was standing on the corner one morning with a dollar in my hand I was looking for the first woman comin' along that didn't have no man Tell me, how long Do I have to wait? Can I get you now, baby? Do I have to hesitate? Talk to me now That's for y'all to get taught People to learn, they get their learning, you understand? It can force you to get your learning, you see? When you get out in the pulpit, you know? You learn how to do it Yeah I got a-hesitatin' shoes and a-hesitatin' stalking I got me a good hesitatin' woman through my hesitatin' rocking Tell me how long Do I have to hesitate? Can I get you now, baby? Give the pie back, you know, runnin' round to everybody's house, trying to break up everybody's home Get your pie back, here when you tell them, you know I ain't no preacher, neither no preacher's son But I can preach a few sermons till the preacher comes Tell me how long do I have to wait Tell me you wouldn't fall for this kind of devilry Break up your good home I ain't no rent-payer, neither no rent-payer's son But I can pay a few rents until the rent-payer comes Tell me how long Do I have to wait Can I get you now? Do I have to hesitate? Well I ain't never been to heaven but I been told Says Saint Peter learnt the angels how to do the Jelly Roll How long, whoo? Can I get you now? Well I hitched up my mule and my mule wouldn't pull Took the harness off the mule and put the harness on the wolf Tell me how long? Can I get you now? Here's a crooked woman, you know I was out on my wagon, you know, trying to sell some coal My gal was sitting 'round the corner trying her best to sell some jelly roll Tell me how long? Can I get you now, baby?
